to Corsham Town, with Callum Demkiv striking twice for the visitors during normal time.
In the other fixtures to take place, Welton went down to a slim 1-0 loss at Bovey Tracey,
with the equally excellently-named Eversley & California FC overturning Jamal
Chevolleau’s early strike to knock out Bitton by two goals to one.
Weekend League Action: With most sides in Vase action, there was a heavily reduced
league fixture list over the weekend, and of those in Premier Division action included league
leaders Bridgwater. Hosting Ilfracombe, a surprise result was on the cards at the interval
after Sam Wright had edged the visitors in front. United managed to maintain their unbeaten
start however, with top scorer Jake Brown adding to his tally with an equaliser two minutes
into the second half. Cornish outfit Buckland remain without a draw in their 11 league
fixtures so far this campaign after striking two minutes from time to capture a 2-1 win away
at Sherborne. The Zebras enjoyed the best of the opening stages, and they took a
deserved lead midway through the first half thanks to Ashley Guppy. Buckland then levelled
affairs on the hour mark thanks to a Rob Farkins header, before Scott Crocker completed the
comeback two minutes from time with another headed finish. The other game in that
division also went the way of the visiting side, with Harry Foster’s hat-trick help lead Street
to a storming 5-1 win over Keynsham. Foster struck twice inside the opening half hour to
put the Cobblers ahead, before the K’s halved the deficit just prior to half time to give
themselves some hope heading into the second stanza. Street finally pulled away in the final
quarter, with Kyle Strange extending their two-goal advantage, before Foster struck again to
complete his treble.

Wells City took advantage of others playing the Vase to extend their lead atop the
First Division table to five points. Having suffered an early blow, falling behind to
Gillingham in the early stages on Saturday afternoon, City drew level towards the end of
the first half thanks to a thumping header from Tom Hill. Before long, Charlie Crook had
scored to turn the game on its head, with Wells pulling away during the second period
thanks to further goals from Adam Wright and Craig Herrod. The comeback of the day
belonged to Longwell Green Sports who overturned a two-goal deficit to beat Cheddar
3-2 at Shellards Road. Goals either side of the interval from Dean Chrisostomou and Morgan
Bacon gave the Cheesemen a hefty advantage, but Longwell Green kept pushing and soon
got their rewards thanks to a quick-fire double from the two Zac’s, Cheetham and Feltham.
The remaining drama was saved for injury time, with Longwell Green scoring a winner at the
death through Tom Warren, all of this coming just moments after the hosts had squandered
an opportunity to go in front from the penalty spot. FC Bristol also enjoyed the best of the
closing stages in their clash with Bishop Sutton to help secure a 4-2 victory. Goals from
Niekell Plummer and Kinsly Murray helped give the hosts a two-goal lead, which was soon
cancelled out following a pair of quick strikes from Sutton forward Craig Wilson. Then, with
quarter of an hour remaining, Jennison Williams put the home side back ahead, and they
finally wrapped up victory in stoppage time through Cameron Brown. The points were
shared in the remaining fixture, with Warminster coming from two-down to claim a 2-2
draw at home to Tytherington. Goals from Ethan Johnson and Cameron Horseman had put
the Rocks in control at the break, but Warminster were able to surge back during the second
half, with Corey Gardner and Max Wyatt each striking to salvage a draw.
